    Hi Rich I just opened your plan and all looks wel to me. You know that the foundation and other floors will not show in dollhouse over view right?

    The elevation shows it better.
    I'd like to know how others handle this..

    Rich
    You could delete the foundation and make the 1st floor walls foundation walls=pony walls..
    Not sure how good it will work.

    To me it looks like the only problem is that the cars are floating which should be an easy fix, just grab them by the handles click Ctrl and drag to correct level. I think that the toilets and all are up above the garage floor correctly if I reading the initial problem correctly. It is just that foundation levels do not show on florr overviews.

    Ale, I just tried with walls as pony walls and it works well, takes a little work but it looks good.

    Thank you Allen and CG (?) for looking this over.

    Allen - in the drawing you posted, it still shows the toilet floating. I am assuming you posted the picture as a clearer representation of what the problem is. Correct?

    The workaround, as described by you guys, is to do pony walls to create the stem wall. In that case, the garage would be manually labeled after foundation building rather than before to avoid the problem as shown. The solution presented is actually very good. I will build with pony walls on the outer walls.

    Thanks,

    This may be a good case where the foundation is placed on floor0 and the "basement/garage" is placed on floor 1 ?

    Your welcome
    The picture was to show CG=Andy that the toilet was up higher than the garage floor.

    Still would like to hear from others that have done this..

    Do a full render overview and use the section cross slider to see the floor below.
